Take me with you when you go down to the riverIt's the only place I know where I can forgive herTake me with you when you goI'm tired of living life on hold

Take me with you when you go down to the riverDown to the river, down to the river, oh I know

Take a walk with me awhile, it's quite by the riverOh, I know that she's gone, but I can't forget herTake me with you when you go, it's the only place I knowWe lost the dreams that we once hadHow did our lives turn out so bad?

Take me with you when you go down to the riverDown to the river, down to the river, oh I knowDown to the river, I can't forget herI'll stay forever and watch it flow

Take me with you when you goLady's bridge is where we knowNow that our lives turned out so badWe lost the dreams we once hadWe can watch the river flowAnd maybe make this city slow

Take me with you when you go down to the riverDown to the river, down to the river, oh I knowDown to the river I can't forget herI'll stay forever and watch it flow
